Made by Heisey Victorian came in pale yellow, crystal and cobalt blue. One thing to watch for when collecting Victorian is that Imperial made some items in the mid sixties from the original Heisey molds. Because the original molds were used, the Imperial items will have the Heisey mark. The good news is that the reproduced pieces were made in no original colors. So pink, amber and green are not considered Heisey items even though they are marked.

Stanhope is another elegant glass pattern that is very popular with Art Deco collectors (read as raising the prices). Heisey made Stanhope from 1936 until the beginning of the Second World War and only in crystal. You’ll find some items are etched. An interesting feature of Stanhope is that wooden rods are added to rings to act as handles. I’ve seen a few pieces that are missing these.

The Saturn elegant glass pattern by A. H. Heisey was introduced in the late 1930’s. It’s distinctive Saturn like rings give a futuristic look reminiscent of Buck Rogers and outer space. It’s an easy pattern to spot from these rings. It was manufactured in crystal, light green and smoke. The crystal is somewhat affordable but the green is over the top in pricing.

Rose is probably the number one collected Heisey pattern. Heisey made the attractive Rose pattern in the 1950’s. It came only in crystal and it features a very large rose etching. It was produced on the popular Waverly blank. Due to it’s popular demand it’s an expensive pattern to start out collecting.

Waverly was the Heisey blank for the extremely popular Rose and Orchid patterns. It came in two colors, crystal and amber.  Waverly was produced late in the 1940’s and production contnueed well into the 1950’s. While not as popular as the etched Rose and Orchid patterns Waverly does have it’s own collector base and offers a more affordable choice to the etched Heisey patterns.
